Gambling
- A kicker (poker) or side card, a card in a poker hand that does not itself take part in determining the rank of the hand, but that may be used to break ties between hands of the same rank
- Kicker is an option for certain North American lottery games:
- in the Connecticut Lottery's Cash 5 game
- in the Ohio Lottery's Classic Lotto game (once was an add-on for Mega Millions within Ohio); Ohio's The Kicker is a true "add-on", unlike in Connecticut's Cash 5
- Most Canadian lotteries offer an add-on similar to Ohio's, known as Extra, Encore, or Tag, depending on the lottery; many more Canadian than American games offer this option

Famous quotes containing the word gambling:

—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women, the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with technicians.”
—Georges Pompidou (1911–1974)
